Default Addicted to Distraction?

I distract the living crap out of myself to block out the voices.

Can anyone relate? Anyone have to distract themselves incessantly?

I can relate. I don't begin my work day with work, I begin with whatever else, news in the world, coming on here and checking other things. I'm lucky if I do some work in the first couple of hours of what I should be doing.

As my voices are nowhere near as bad as in the past, I sometimes don't know if I'm listening to them or if my head is just all over the place and I don't have concentration.

I think that's the key, to have the right thing that keeps the concentration and blocks out other things. I try with music most of the time, but lately it's not helping.

Good to hear from you Andino. I totally agree that the key is to find the right distractions that capture your attention. Music doesn't help me much as I just zone out.
